The radium was radiochemically separated from irradiated thorium targets. 230Ac was obtained by 230Ra β-→230Ac. Thin Ra sources were prepared for observing fission fragments from β-delayed fission of 230Ac. The sources were exposed to the mica fission track detectors and measured by a HPGe γ detector. The two fission events were obtained and could been assigned to the β-delayed fission of 230Ac. The β-delayed fission probability of 230Ac was determined to be (1.19±0.85)×10-8.展开更多
